Wow wow wow, another movie that feels horrifying and inspiring at the same time. The beginning made me feel physically ill, and the whole time it felt impossible. Amazing performances by all. Hope you enjoy the reaction!

[Full Reaction] - A Time to Kill

Another great courtroom drama: Primal Fear. Absolutely riveting and introduced the movie going public to Edward Norton.

Agree on the Norton aspect of PRIMAL FEAR; the rest is pretty tedious. There’s a subplot involving Steven Bauer’s character that goes absolutely nowhere. Saying that, PRIMAL FEAR was what I saw on my first date with my wife. Awwww. But also kind of weird, in retrospect…

Love PRIMAL FEAR. Very atmospheric courtroom drama. Norton certainly made an auspicious debut with his slambang performance, but I think that Gere actually has the harder role and does some of his best work.

@Jason: The first movie my wife and I saw together in the theater on a date was RATATOUILLE. I feel pretty good about that one.

If you have the time on your schedule, I also highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend The Trial of the Chicago Seven, it deals with many of the same issues that this movie does and is incredibly engaging.

Brian Jones

Great reaction as always Cassie. The one thing this film did remarkably well, past the obvious positive messages about race, which it thankfully juggled without strangling it's own structure or narrative, was to be fair politically and represent all sides. Especially regarding the DA, ACLU, and Judge. It showed them for the political animals that they are in most cases. Even more so recently than at the time. If the film were made now, and it were honest, it would also have to include the obvious blowback that the prosecution, judge, and likely even the community would see as well. Sadly, and more frequently than not these days, a case that would be this high profile tends to become a political football that's more about scoring PC points than actually finding any genuine justice. A subject that's kind of broached here, but is far more relevant in the current political climate. This film came out at a time when our country was actually healing. Unfortunately, over the last 15 years or so, division has become such a cottage industry of money and power that that the powers that be seem to be going out of their way to keep society separated. One would hope we will eventually see the errors of our ways.

I doubt very seriously Carl Lee would get off scott free here in 2022 doing that with all the public shootings going on. I know we were rooting for Samuel L. during the movie, but still I think his character should have faced some sort of punishment regardless. That was my first thought when I initially saw this movie way back when in the theater. Especially restitution to the police officer who had his leg amputated. Plus, probably in today's times it would have been recorded and replayed for the jury to see. That really would have been game over.

If you like court room crime stuff. True detective S1 is the best mini series for your taste

Celeste McAllister

That was painful to watch,my initial thoughts were why is this little girl walking home alone in such a socially unhinged place as rural Mississippi at that period in time? I look at my baby I know I would have shot them for such a cowardly act as raping a defenseless child! Carl will probably have to face civil court..

Because the over-proctective helicopter parent hadn't really taken hold at that time.

Dustin Nelson

For someone who's not into horror you sure cover a lot of stuff with more brutal content than most horror films have in them

I think she means horror as in jump scares and frightening imagery like monsters and demons.

Jeff Milcheck

Cassie, if you’re into investigative, courtroom stuff, “JFK” is a must! And possibly the greatest cast ever assembled… Kevin Costner, Gary Oldman, Tommy Lee Jones, Joe Pesci, Sissy Specek, Kevin Bacon, John Candy, Jack Lemon, Walter Matthau, Donald Sutherland and a ton of other character actors you’d probably recognize.

Andrew Rose

I've seen this movie a number of times.. very well done but if I'm going to be honest.. I skip probably the first fifteen minutes or so if I do watch it. Once was enough for the beginning.

William Bryan
>>88014361

Good observation Dustin. Excellent observation. Cassie doesn't like the jump scares, that's why horror terrifies her. Not so much the content. It's the "boo" stuff.

William Bryan
>>88014361

Two men torturing and raping an innocent little girl is way more disturbing than anything the Saw franchise has ever put out. Maybe it's just me.

William Bryan
>>88014361

Cassie's reaction to the first 10 min of ATTK is exactly why she shouldn't go near Doctor Sleep. Some people have suggested Doctor Sleep and I'm like, hell no.

William Bryan
>>88014361

What humans can do to other humans is way more disturbing than anything any demonic possession movie can ever put out. That's what makes the 2003 remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre one of the most terrifying movies to come out in the last forty years. At least imo.

Jason Chirevas
>>88026975

JFK is a must on several levels, the investigation/court aspect is just one of them.

Jason Chirevas
>>88014361

Agree on DOCTOR SLEEP. I think that one scene in particular would override any value Cassie might take from seeing it. Plus, she had a terrible time with THE SHINING anyway, so what would be the point?

Jason Chirevas
>>88014361

Weird that you’d single out the 2003 TCM and not the original, which is, like, 10 gajillion times scarier and disturbing.

brooke atkins
>>87993186

Amen!! Helicopter parenting is suffocating children. It’s why they act out and lie so much. I spent all summer outside with my friends and my mom always knew where I was but didn’t need to be by my side every second of the day. So glad I’m an 80’s baby.

Celeste McAllister
>>87993186

When you have children under the age of 10 protecting them is priority #1,mine are 7 & 3 I can't afford to be complacent..

Lyle Morgan

I grew up in Mississippi and would just like to point out that we did, in fact, have air conditioning.

William Bryan
>>87963937

if Carl Lee gets off completely scott free in real life now it opens the door to anarchy.

William Bryan
>>88014361

See I don't like the original nearly as much and yeah I did see the '74 version years before the 2003 version came out. Leatherface just seemed so much more demented in the remake. Don't get me wrong the '74 is a classic and great but I came out of the theatre on Oct 17, 2003 at around 11pm and just shouted, "Tobe Hooper eat your heart out!!" my two cents. lol

William Bryan
>>88014361

Doctor Sleep isn't as scary as The Shining by any means but Cassie's soft spot for children is enough for her to never see that one scene.

Amy Silknitter

I always know that this is a good movie. I own it in every medium it was released on. But I just seem to forget just how good it is and for the dozen, at least, times that I've seen it, I never remember how the closing summation by Jake kills me and I sob through the whole thing.

Dustin Nelson
>>88014361

TCM 2003 is great on it's own, they did such a good job on it it can stand up the 1974 original as a complementary alternative universe. The original has such strong moments it wins out but there is something to be said for the on-camera brutality of TCM 2003. We're basically comparing a 10/10 movie from 1974 to a 9/10 movie from 2003.

Dustin Nelson
>>88014361

That said I badly want to see TCM 1974, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Friday the 13th part 3, 4 and 6 on this channel. TCM 2003 would be great but it's not as important to me.

William Bryan
>>88014361

She'll never watch either version of TCM. Lost cause. Trust me I've tried. A Freddy or Jason movie, maybe. BIG maybe

Ido Gordin

After this movie you should watch other John Grisham's courtroom movies like The Pelican Brief, The Client and The Rainmaker

MattN
>>88219725

The Rainmaker is hands down my favorite legal movie of all time.

I was thinking about that too, I'm glad this film didn't really take one side of the political aisle one way or the other. The NAACP used to really be about fighting for African-Americans but that organization has become so politically corrupt and the writing of this film showcased that while still fighting for a black man's freedom. That was a bold step to take back in 1996.

If that happened today in real life they probably would have given him something like second degree manslaughter given the heinous nature of his daughter's rape and attempted killing. At least Rufus was willing to knock it down to 20 years instead of the gas chamber so he was willing to show Carl Lee SOME leniency.

Brian Jones
>>87960919

Not even JUST African-Americans, but anyone who's rights had been trampled on regardless of political persuasion, race, gender, or otherwise. The NAACP would theoretically be outspoken and defend a Hillary Clinton or a Donald Trump in a perfect world, so long as their legal rights were perceived as violated in any given case. Sadly, now the organization is essentially just another arm of the Democratic party. But yes, the movie did a great job pointing out the politicization of that organization.
